Kazakh President Tokayev left Russian public shook after St.Pe | RussiaGate #Digest

Kazakh President Tokayev left Russian public shook after St.Petersburg Forum for no reason whatsoever.

Being a smart human being, Tokayev said nothing special: Kazakhstan won't recognize republics of Donbass, there cannot be any "sovereign" economy in modern world etc.

He said it with Putin sitting right by his side. Russia is not about ratio or common sense, it's about emotions and symbols. Putin is depicted by Russian propaganda as "a great, feared leader".

Tokayev showed that Putin is feared by nobody which has drawn some emotional reactions from Ramzan Kadyrov and MP Konstantin Zatulin.

Both were overturned by one of the main Russian actors in Donbass - Andrei Turchak. Turchak basically told Zatulin to take care of his own business and leave foreign policy matters to the President, but this was also a message to Kadyrov.

Not from Turchak personally, but by the group he is representing.
